The Parkersburg did not get into the river, as was expected in our last issue, but the effort wns continued un til they swung her around with her bow toward the river, and the heavy seas threw her high upon the beach alongside of Ilackleff rock, where she still lies. On last. Tuesday the work of unlading the vessel commenced and was successfully completed on the following Thursday, having worked during the ebb tide of throe days and ono night. The freight was in good condition considering the cir cumstances. Captain Parker estimates the damage to freight nt $50, while ho thinks 8100 will cover the damage of the vessel. She will be raised and ' launched from where she rests. Prob ably few vessels would have wit hstood the thumping that the Parkersburg has, having had solid beach' all the way. nnd pnssing over one large rock on her journey around the* point. A CARD.

The upper river had quite a rise Thursday and Friday of last week, floating away hun dreds of saw logs from landings and creek bottoms, causing considerable excitement among log owners.
